Nighthawk M5 MR5100-1Z1MES useless In Middle East

Good day NETGEAR COMMUNITY ! ,



First of all, We are in big trouble because a lot of people In Middle East They didn't get the new update :



Model: MR5100-1Z1MES



Firmware Version :


NTGX55_12.04.12.01


GUI Version:


MR5100-1Z1MES_04.02.197.00


HW Version: 1.1



_________________________________________________________________



Most of people stuck on version :



10.12.13.0

&

10.28.02.00



Which is very old version and you cannot change band option's from the router ! You shall to change It from 192.168.1.1 !



Also, when you tried to check for updates It's give you UP TO DATE !



_________________________________________________________________



Is it difficult for a large and leading company in the field of routers like Netgear to Push an OTA update 12.04.12.01 to all owners of the MR5100-1Z1MES model ?



By the way .... The vendor not cooperate at all In Middle East
  • UPDATE:

    After contact with Zain KW, and give them the router, they finally update It to latest firmware!

    Thanks to all ..


    UPDATE 2:

    Many of routers on Zain KW got the new FW update today !!!! No need to send It to Zain !!!
